So am I. This "thing" continues to outpace my efforts to "get used to
it". I thought the problem was that the scope of the mandate was too
wide. I still have not heard a precise definition of "war-fighting"
software, but I had been hoping that this would be the outcome and that
for such projects the Ada mandate would be maintained. It would have
clarified things around here (my place of work) in a reasonable way.
Instead, the question is punted completely.
"April Fool's" indeed.
